The announcement came after a PGA Tour statement on Thursday regarding the cancellation of THE PLAYERS Championship and upcoming PGA Tour events
The Louisiana Open, part of the Web.com Tour, was scheduled to get underway next Thursday.
Le Triomphe Golf and Country Club in Broussard has been hosting the tournament since back in 1992 when it debuted as the Ben Hogan Louisiana Open.
